Ángel María de Rosa (1888 - 1970)

Ángel María de Rosa

Ángel María de Rosa was an Argentine sculptor and philanthropist.

As a teenager he entered the Society for the Encouragement of Fine Arts in Buenos Aires, and then transferred to the Bon Marché Academy of Art. He then travelled to Italy, where he studied at the Florence Academy and at the Institute of Fine Arts in Rome.

In 1943, he donated most of his own works, as well as much of the art that Ángel María de Rosa had collected in Europe, to his hometown, which led to the creation of the Municipal Museum of Fine Arts of Junín.
